🎸 Verse 1:
            C majorC       G+G
The road does funny things inside a man
  A minorAm         G+G      FF
To hurt in ways I just don't understand
           C majorC          G+G
My heart can see the road that leads back home
             FF      A minorAm  G+G
I'm afraid that I can't get there anymore

🎸 Verse 2:
  FF          C majorC    G+G
I wish that you could see into my eyes
  A minorAm         G+G         FF
To see what makes me race and makes me cry
             C majorC          G+G
I have faith inside this broken tethered heart
        FF      A minorAm     G+G
Whatever role I play is the right part

🎸 Chorus:
FF          G+G          A minorAm
The sunshine in Des Moines can fade so fast
 FF        G+G         A minorAm
A augmentedA love you never meant to let slip past
 FF   G+G        C majorC G+G A minorAm
Minneapolis could take me home
  FF          G+G   C majorC
But home ain't where I'm headed for

🎸 Verse 3:
  FF       C majorC       G+G
My sorrow makes a face the way I hurt
 A minorAm       G+G        FF
A augmentedA longing-for betrayed by what I'm sure
             C majorC       G+G
Are sounds and words that push and pull you still
           FF         A minorAm  G+G
But hardened by the thought of what you will

🎸 Verse 4:
FF          C majorC      G+G
Soon I'll find the places that I know
A minorAm          G+G        FF
Faced by what should find me on this road
             C majorC          G+G
My heart still sees the path that leads back home
              FF      A minorAm  G+G
But I think she's gone, I think I'm all alone

🎸 Chorus:
FF          G+G          A minorAm
The sunshine in Des Moines can fade so fast
 FF        G+G         A minorAm
A augmentedA love you never meant to let slip past
 FF   G+G        C majorC G+G A minorAm
Minneapolis could take me home
  FF          G+G    C majorC
But home ain't where I'm headed for
FF          G+G    C majorC
Home ain't where I'm headed for
